Umm, that repaint of Scrappy is win. The Ferret seems to be lacking something, though.

_________________

That Ferret has to be a prototype. No way they would release it in those colors... right?

I don't know, it does look like a movie release with that added rocket launcher on the Ferret.

Scraps is pretty cool though, and the Ferret is small enough that I'm sure we'll see it repainted again, maybe after the movie.

I think the Ferret problem is the colors. Just a really poor choice of colors and I'm sure it would look far better in something like crimson, dark blue, or heck even some polar style colors.

Scrap Iron is a win so that means now I'm going to end up with him three colors. What is it with joining Cobra making you into some sort of fashion hound?

It is possible that the camera flash is making the colors look worse too. I sort of expected to see the ferret show up eventually.

So with the movie stuff and Resolute stuff showing up, plus the canceling of the other items, I'm now thinking the other items were canceled because they're being repackaged. The SKU # would be different on a new packed item.

The light blue is a bit strange, but on the whole it's not bad. Still hope we'll get the Arctic HISS and the Stinger one of these days.

can't say I'm a fan of this Scrap-Iron, I mean after the comic pack Scrappy with original colours, why would you need anything else? Personally, this colour choice just looks like the camera man snapped a picture without light or a flash. I hope they re-release the Ferret in good old Cobra blue, my twins need their ride!

Why do the vehicles seem to be regressing to JvC-era quality?

maybe the blue wasn't painted all the way? It just doesnt make sence to use that color blue when the front bumper and giant rocket launcher are a metallic color.

Hopefully the front bumper is removable, as for the colors I'm going to wait until I see professional shots with lighting that gives it the look it will have in person. Flashes tend to alter how things look as do certain types of light. BTW if that is a pistol on Scrap Iron's leg did anyone know the knife clip could hold one? I figured it would snap of seeing how tight the knifes fit in it.

I don't think the colors are gonna be that far off, the original Black Scrap Iron images showed up on hisstank.com and weren't flooded with flash like they were a dio story panel from 2003, and Scrap Iron's webgear etc was pretty maroon in color. That baby blue is a very random color too mold those peices in

Black Scrap Iron is a repaint I can do without, and even if the Ferret is released in better Cobra colors, with that stupid launcher thing on it, it makes it a pass for me.

I don't see the point on either of these things at all.



For those who see Scrap Iron as an IG agent, that version will be nice, but he's purely Cobra in my eyes and the arctic version is unbeatable for that. The Ferret's launcher is likely removable but even if it's not, the vehicle is ugly in those colors and the whole mold is a little too oversized to be a practical ATV methinks (the PTE one in blue would be hella more appropriate).

Pass!

holy crap, springs, is action attack coming back as well>?

hmm, PTE pwns this one.
